Nine Days in November

The rifle season ended tonight in Wisconsin. Each year is different and this year was no exception. John shot this nice 5 pointer opening morning. The boys passed on 10 additional deer that weekend. Two of us never saw a deer. Can't remember when the last time I hunted the opener and never saw anything but it really didn't matter to me. As long as the boys see critters, I'm happy. Anyway, I've got 6 more weeks or archery and a 4 day does only (with rifles) season in early December. So weather permitting. I still have plenty of tree sitting ahead of me. Oh, and speaking of weather permitting, we've had about a foot of snow over the last three days.
Deer are still moving but only at night. I pulled my trail cams before the storm and only have one back out. I'd like to do some more scouting around so hopefully we won't get hit too hard over the next two weeks. Snow is rather tough to walk in right now but it's supposed to really warm up by next weekend.
I've got to find a secret location for my next great stand. It will be grand. The tough part will be what to name it.....
